New Year in the Alps, Chamonix

New Year in the Alps, Chamonix

Make this New Year special and spend it skiing in Chamonix, Mont Blanc. Are you always stuck for ideas for a New year party? then come and spend it in Chalet Petit Bechar, a 14 bed ensuite catered chalet. If you book our premium package there’s unlimted wine and beer available so you may not even need to go out! With skiing available at all levels in the valley, everyone can enjoy some great skiing. And on New years Eve all the bars hold their own parties, restaurants often lay on a special menu and perhaps some entertainment so all you have to do it decide which takes your fancy. Come midnight the hoards of tipsy revellers head down to the clock tower in the centre of town for the big countdown – not an official event as such, more of a long-held tradition which has a great atmosphere.  On the stroke of midnight you are advised to duck as champagne corks and fireworks are unleashed in celebration!

Micro brewery, bar Chamonix

 

MBC is a great place for locals and visitors to the valley to enjoy great beer, good food, and entertainment, all in a friendly pub atmosphere. If you’ve never been to a micro brewery before, it’s not exactly a bar or a restaurant, but a combination of the two with a bit of a homemade feel to it.

The MBC is open 16:00 to 02:00 during the winter and summer, and 16:00 to 01:00 spring and Autumn. They have a full bar and five types of beer on tap, pilsner, weisbier, pale ale, stout, and a beer of the month. Food is served from 16:00 to 23:00.

At just a  5-minute walk from the centre of town means it attracts a discerning clientele. A good place to track down a mountain guide with a story or two! The chicken wings are legendary and the burgers are pretty good too. Watch out for the beer it sneaks up on you and look out for the local band, Gary Bigham and The Crevassholes - a Chamonix institution.
